book reviews

Is anybody interested in using this forum to review parenting books or part of a parenting book?  During my chief residency year I had the residents review a  parenting book every other month- I think it worked out well and for those that didn't have kids it gave them a "well baby" perspective so often missed in training and even as novice pediatricians we also found that some of the material was outdated or didn't fit our philosophy of child rearing.  For example, yesterday I finally broke down and bought the Baby Wise book and I was looking at the chart in the back that gives the parents a checklist of signs of adequate nutrition.  One of the signs is urination within 24-48 hrs. of birth.  Are you comfortable with 48 hours?   Regards- Kim Burlingham, MD
